Olivia Wilde Took Jason Sudeikis To A Strip Club. What Does It All Mean?

Most Read

Most of us consider ourselves to be pretty solid girlfriends if we, oh, I don't know, don't pick a fight every day and maybe even know how to make nachos. Unfortunately, Olivia Wilde blew us out of the water with a treat for her boyfriend Jason Sudeikis last month when the couple celebrated their engagement. She, Sudeikis and two dancers went into a private champagne room at the Penthouse Executive Club in New York, AND Wilde picked up the tab. So, does this make her every dude's dream girlfriend? Or someone trying hard to please her boyfriend and hide her own insecurities?

Now, I'm all for sex-positive women who are into going to strip clubs with their guys, but it's often unclear how much it's for the woman's benefit, as opposed to pretending to enjoy stereotypical frat-boy activities in order to be the "cool" girlfriend. In her nonfiction study of "raunch culture," Female Chauvinist Pigs, the feminist writer Ariel Levy puts it way better than I can. Wilde may fall into the category of an FCP, a woman who "distinguishes herself from women who she deems excessively feminine ('girly-girls'), while simultaneously objectifying such women (e.g., going to strip clubs, reading Playboy, and talking about porn stars)."

In short, the kind of woman who pretends she likes football. (Not one who ACTUALLY likes football.) Do you think Wilde is one of these FCPs or is it all just foreplay for their self-declared "Kenyan marathon runner" sex?
